I don't see any beer.

 

Nice box! Looks ridiculously expensive!!!

 

I just bought my daughter a Wise Owl double...she loves it!

 

Nah, he threw the coolie cup in free.

 

I think they price Snap on boxes by how many stacks of cash they can hold...

 

Things I've learned this past week. Don't fly United and don't drive on the interstates in Atlanta... Seeing as I-20 now has problems. Weird thing is that they are not aging infrastructure related (either one). Pressure testing an air line caused a leak which buckled part of I-20.

Since things happens in 3's - the Third is to NOT go south of Anchorage on the ONE Highway. Second time in 2 weeks a guy went postal with a gun and started shooting at people causing the road to be closed down.

 

They do hold cash...

 

Looks like it

 

Looks like his snap on dealer has his/her kids college covered by the look of those pictures.

You can't get a better tool and you can't pay a higher price either.

 

He doesn't have any kids... well two doggies.

 

Mike, quite being a cheapskate and upgrade the 3/8 impact already.....

I need a new box too, just can't get myself to part with $15,000......

 

Mike, your outlook on free stuff with purchase of other stuff reminds me of how I got my truck, and how Andre got his truck. I paid $58,000 for a new set of tires, and got a free truck. Andre paid about the same for an oil change and also got a free truck.

Monty, I guess the blackberry moonshine prevented a morning campfire pic again. That is actually an acceptable excuse. I like that new hammock.

Andre, I was the one who asked about the construction downstairs - rather than Dak, but thanks for the reply anyway. It looks like nothing ever happened, and that can be more difficult when dealing with textured walls. Matching the texture or getting the pattern right can be a PITA. How's the rest of the unintended remodel coming along?

Chad, I'm not parting with that kind of cash for tools either, but since I don't make my living with them, there's really not as much justification as there is for others. I have always drooled a bit more though when looking at Snap-On and a few other pro-grade brands. In the meantime, my Craftsman and Cobalt with have to suffice.

Dak, I hadn't seen any article about I-20. Guess I need to look. I did see where a small kid was crushed between a stationary wall and a moving wall in a downtown Atlanta restaurant that rotates continuously. That restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember (which for me is the extremely early 70's). I'm sure it was around long before I was a flirtatious look.

Here is an article about the Buc-ee's they are building on my route to and from work. It should open within the next few months and will save me from having to take an alternate route home at the end of each set of work days (or nights) to buy fuel from the other local Buc-ee's. Besides getting my fuel there, I will also finally be able to run my truck through an automated wash, instead of trying to hand wash and dry it before it is covered in dust again.

Tonight is my last night shift at the perfume factory for a couple of weeks. I will be off tomorrow, but I have rope rescue training Wednesday and Thursday off-site, and then days at work Friday through Sunday. No rest for the wicked, I guess. Have a great evening gang!
